@proverb no problem mate, it's your opinion AND I hope I will have the last laugh, because it would benefit both of us and Manchester United. Close to messi now ´when Messi is 26? no, close to Messi when he was 18? has all the abilities, but of course they have that different style. anywa, I do get what people say, I just see it that he has the qualities to BECOME, not that he is, but can become very close.

@tommy

no I get that, usually it's when it's an english player it goes a little too overboard, for example Hart, which is absurd even though he's a good keeper but nowehere close David De Gea who I thought from the beginning that he was one of the best in the world, and now he's close to that and look at his age!!

Of course I will give him time, but it does not matter what I say, it matters what he does, but I do get what you mean man! but try to also understand that resembling is a different thing, cause like I said, I think he also resembles giggsy and ozil in many ways.

but my oh my this boy has it, he will become a truly great footballer, now is it on an ronaldo/messi level? we'll see, but I'll be damned if he does not get close to it . that's what I am saying.

also it does not matter against who Januzaj scored his first goals, it matter that how he controleld that game and composed himself and won us the game basically alone with those 2 goals at the age of 18.

Messi's first goal was agains Albacete, do you remembere albacete??? I don't , so it does not matter, we'll see, I hope I will have the last laugh, if not a close one.

I sometimes enter arguments in defense of ronaldo with folks on twitter and facebook, even though I know that deep down Messi is the better one. Although, with those two there's no shame as they are two very, very good players, they have proved themselves in the big stages.
Hence why the argument doesn't sound far fetched.
With janu its ridiculous enough rating him above the likes of Mata, silva and so on.....

Happy matchday folks.gonna be a tricky fixture if we get complacent.Expect fellaini to be the main man at the absence of Carrick.Win today and we can take the pressure off of us against Leverkusen away which is gonna be tough.Also we can rotate heavily for the next game that means game time for fringe players.Looking forward to hear our away support.Do us proud lads.

weareunited .. I think what zibbie means is that there isn't anyone else out there that at 18 years of age were better then what januzaj is doing for us. it was a compliment

proverb .. how does rooney giving a fellow professional his shirt sum him up? .. yeah the guys a prick but some people are taking any opportunity to take a dig at rooney. hes putting every bit of effort he has got into winning games for united, that's good enough for me. its up to the club and manager to see if he wants to sign an extension and stay loyal to the club.

as for tonight, im kind of expecting a 4-3-3. a bit of cleverly and Anderson with either jones or fellaini being the holding midfielder. love to see a bit of zaha too

Fair play to Riether for apologizing now can we finally stop talking about it? We're starting to sound like Liverpool fans. The man has apologized. There are no hard feelings. Let's move on to more important things.

All teams have played 4 games with United having a goal difference of +1 (7 scored and 6 conceded). United have won 2 (Manchester United 4-3 Bayer Leverkusen, Real Soceidad 0-2 Manchester United) and lost 2 (Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Manchester United, Manchester United 0-1 Real Soceidad).

If United beat Leverkusen and Shakhtar and Soceidad draw then that will put us 2nd with 9 points behind Soceidad who will have 10 and then we will have to play Shakhtar in our final game and win in order to go through!

Obviously tight between the 2 but I would go with Ronaldo being better than Messi but its fine margins, the great dane was asked whos better and in his opinion, Ronaldo is more likely to be able to star in a bad team than Messi who is relying on Xavi and Iniesta feeding him constantly, hence why he gets bad press in Argentina for not performing anywhere near the same as at Barca!

Under 19s team in a strong position, I looked at the Shacktar v Bayor score and it was 2 0 shacktar after 88mins, looks like they collapsed! Sociadad are the best under 19 team in the group prob should of beaten us today so I would expect them to beat shacktar next up so even if we lose to bayor a win against shacktar last up will be enough to take us through!

Going to be very interesting to watch us play tonight. Especially interested in seeing how Fellaini copes against a very mobile midfield. His performance tonight will tell me if he has improved at all or not.

Believe me their are 18 year olds all over the world as talented as Adnan, like they was with Messi at 18, Its how they develope between 18 - 21, physically mainly but also mentally and how he is with his new found wealth like he may go off the rails (Hope he dosent obviously) but giving an 18 year old a reported 60k a week is stupid! Thats why so many british kids dont make it because their millionaires when they've just made a capital one cup appearance! No desire like the class of 92 had nothing before they were regulars so they had the heart and desire to be the best they could possibly be!

Some of you will know I am not a fan of the corner flag time waster, and that is triple true at an away ground. It's like Balotelli doing a back heal penalty. Spark to dry wood, when no spark is really needed.

Fair enough to the fulham man, holding his hand up.
Assuming the FA do what they would do if it was Keane or Rooney, you accept it and move on.

We don't have a injury and we have loads of important games coming up, we move on.

Wau
worries I get it I really don't know the 18 yr olds of the world my point was he looks composed as an academy kid. and has as much upside as anyone. maybe more with bars the real and the boys looking at him. the last time an 18-year-old came through the Academy with that much composure with the? anyway I enjoy your posts.

Fair play on the fulham player apologizing but what he really should be apologizing is to the fulham players/fans after he had a big smile on his face after swapping shirts, Is their a more gay thing in football than swapping shirts, If I was manager/captain it would be fucking banned. Hate it me lol

No pace through the middle tonight, Rio, Vida, Giggs, Fellani and Rooney are not the quickest and thats being kind, why smalling fullback? I would much prefer Fabio or even Valencia their than a centre half playing full back!

believe me, there aren't that many as you mention 18 year old boys as talented as adnand, otherwise they would play in big clubs like Januzaj. anyway, agree to disagree.

@zibbie

I got your comment wrong, and you got me there, I donät know all the 18-tear olds, but the point was that you don't see many 18-oldsters playing for big clubs and our club is a hella of a big club and Januzaj has made his early marks on it and lets hope he continues stamping it more.

now into the game peace and cheers for enjoying my comments if you meant mine , anyway mate peace.
